This was a wonderful evening tour - fun and knowledgeable captains in an intimate setting. They found lots of dolphins for us and took us through all the little interests in the bay. Topped it off with a beautiful spot for the sunset. Terrific experience.

Great experience! Captain Noel was so pleasant, funny, and knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. We saw a number of water birds and a couple pods of dolphins! His knowledgeable of the area was so interesting and we saw beautiful homes, as well as some still recovering from the last hurricane. We had beautiful weather and a spectacular sunset. Would definitely recommend this cruise, and especially Captain Noel to anyone looking for a great evening experience!

We had a great time on the sunset cruise. Captain Noel was great & we learned so much. We saw several dolphins & tons of pelicans. We've done other cruises on larger boats in the area, we really enjoyed this cruise with a much smaller group. The sunset was incredible. We will definitely book this cruise again when we are back in the St Pete area.

Lovely tour of the bays with the highlight of an awesome sunset. It was a laid back tour with friends. The captain was great. He provided us with local information about the surrounding area which was very interesting. We also saw a small family of dolphins with a young dolphin. Will take this tour again!

My husband and I did the 6:15 PM cruise for our anniversary and it was fabulous! Our captain was just wonderful. He provided so much education on the area during our two-hour cruise. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Three of us went on this tour with Dave, our Captain and Tour Guide. It was an exceptionally beautiful evening with dolphins swimming around our boat. Dave skillfully maneuvered to give us the best views of these beautiful creatures with the sunset as an amazing finale. We highly recommend this tour and will take it again with future visitors.

We tried to go on two hour semi private sunset cruise for my wife's birthday on July 27th as a family of four. Storms cancelled alour trip after we were on boat for an hour and we sent multiple emails with no reply to this company. Our captain was great and was concerned for our safety so cut cruise short. We missed the sunset and very disappointed to never get any reply. Try a different company.
